Capítulo 1763: Chapter 916: Dragon Roar Colosseum
Although Dorothy was quite eager to enjoy the gossip, things weren’t as confrontational as she had imagined. At least both sides remained rather calm.
“Long ti no see. How have you been these years?”
After a mont of silence, Annie took the initiative to speak, greeting her ex-wife.
Of course, she also saw her daughter Alice, who was strolling hand in hand with her father. The stepmother wasn’t particularly opposed to this, as she never prohibited her daughter from contacting her father.
In fact, she hoped Alice could spend more ti with Hatti, given that she wished for her daughter to grow up in a loving environnt.
After all, the breakdown of their relationship was their issue and shouldn’t affect the child.
“Hmm, hmm, quite well.”
The Werewolf Elder, who was supposed to be a cold Mature Lady, instead appeared sowhat shy and awkward, scratching her head. Though not knowing what to do, she nodded and answered.
But soon, her gaze followed Annie’s hand to the man holding hands with her ex-wife.
For a brief mont, an inexplicable anger surged in Hatti’s heart. She felt uncomfortable, but she wasn’t the type who couldn’t control her aggressive nature, so she eventually held back.
Sigh, she had known that Lilith was already remarried in the past few years, and judging by the smile on her ex-wife’s face, she seed quite happy now—sothing Hatti rarely saw during their ti together.
Indeed, their relationship back then had to be sneaky and never in the lilight, always afraid of being discovered.
Hatti truly couldn’t provide Lilith with the future she wanted.
Thinking of this, Hatti felt a bit bitter but soon also ca to terms with it.
She still wasn’t sure whether their feelings counted as love, always thinking that the attraction of their bloodline played a bigger role, and this attraction diminished sharply after Alice was born.
Moreover, Lilith forcibly knocked her out to perform a ritual back then, even bearing the Magic Power consumption of pregnancy alone, deeply hurting Hatti’s self-esteem, eventually leading to their fallout.
To be honest, their personalities weren’t very compatible.
The recent surge of inexplicable anger was just possessiveness at play, and since there’s no turning back, why not let go?
At the mont, after taking a deep breath, Hatti resud her previous cool and handso deanor.
Subsequently, the two talked a bit more, albeit maintaining a deliberate and appropriate distance.
Overall, the atmosphere ended up surprisingly harmonious.
Dorothy witnessing the scene: “……”
The Hobody Witch felt her snacks were losing their flavor and decided to send a secret ssage to her father.
“Dad, why are you just watching? Can you really stand this?”
She began to stir the pot.
“Haha, why wouldn’t I endure it? Or rather, has anything happened that requires to endure?”
Adam’s answer ca quickly, albeit with so confusion in his voice.
“That’s Alice’s biological father, Annie’s ex-wife. Don’t you feel a bit uneasy? Shouldn’t you be more vigilant at tis like these?”
Dorothy wasn’t pleased with her father’s calm deanor.
Then, Adam’s next words left her speechless.
“Why should I be vigilant? She’s Annie’s past, and I’m Annie’s present. As the winner, do I need to be wary of a loser?”
Dorothy: “….”
Wow, Dad, you make a compelling point, and I’m left speechless.
“Dorothy, you’re indeed at that age now. You’ve always had your own opinions since you were young, so I don’t have much to teach you. But regarding relationships, my personal insight is that trust is necessary for longevity.
Just like now, Annie is my partner, not my possession. She has her own freedom, and I have no right to interfere too much. Besides, I’m most familiar with what kind of person Annie is, being her partner. I believe she’ll remain faithful to our love, just as I will be faithful to her.
So, I’m quite confident now and won’t lose my composure because of Alice’s father’s appearance. I hope you’ll also be as confident as I am in the future.”
Seeing his daughter’s sudden interest in this topic, her father thought about it and realized she was at that age. Thus, he spoke sincerely.
While speaking, he glanced at the unfamiliar Werewolf Witch next to his daughter.
Oh dear, Dorothy, you’ve got another girl with you again. I rember the last ti I saw you, it wasn’t this one with you. Which one is my future daughter-in-law or son-in-law?
Adam suddenly began to worry about his daughter’s future. Although he knew witches might have slightly different values than humans, he and his daughter ultimately had so generational gap. But daughter, are you sure this won’t lead to trouble?
“Hmm, hmm, loyalty is indeed important.”
He didn’t know how to persuade his daughter not to be too fickle, so he just emphasized this point.
Dorothy: “……”
Oh dear, I ca for gossip but ended up receiving a mouthful of paternal advice.
As for the implications in her father’s words, sorry, she didn’t catch them. After all, why would a single person need to consider those issues?
